——The year just closed was a record
breaker in the matter of coal production
in Pennsylvania and for more that three-
fourths of the time there was a Demo-
cratic administration in Washington.
——The fact that strawberries have
appeared in the market may be interest-
ing to some but those of us who are con-
cerned about the high cost of living have
no time “~ give to the consiceration of
such subjects.
——We are very strongly in favor of
a Reserve bank in Philadelphia but in
spite of everything else we are compelled
to wonder how a town which propagates
piggeries can make up a valid claim for
such an institution.
——-The express companies are now
treating the public to a lovely imitation
of that profound folly of “locking the
stable door after the horse has been
stolen.” The express companies have
robbed the public ruthlessly by excessive
charges for services for many years and
literally forced the government to create
the parcel post as a remedy against
their extortions. Now they are reducing
rates with the view, probably, of making
the parcel post unprofitable. But they
will not cause an abandonment of the
enterprise for it has proved a splendid
success as well as a vast saving to the
people.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
——During 1913 there were 302 mar
riage licenses issued in Centre county.
This was an increase of three over the
number issued. in 1912 and a decrease of
one from 1911.

——MTrs. Charles Keichline, who has
been ill for a great part of the winter,
has be=n taken from her apartments in
the Curtin house, on the corner of Alle-
gheny and High streets, to the home of
Mr. Keichline’s parents, on Willowbank
street, hoping that she may be benefitted
through this change. Carl, the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Gray, has been in
the Bellefonte hospital since Tuesday,
being admitted for a course of treat-
ment.
——Dr. T. H. Shelley moved from Hub-
lersburg to Pleasant Gap yesterday and
will practice his profession there in the
future. He is a graduate of Bucknell
University and Jefferson Medical College.
After his graduation he spent a year and
a half in state hospital work. He isa
bright and able young physician and the
people of Pleasant Gap and vicinity are
lucky in having him locate there. Dr.
Shelley is the first resident physician in
Pleasant Gap in many years.
rr Al rem,
——During last weeks snow and rain
the town clock stopped two or three
times at night. Investigation showed
that the snow and rain lodged and froze
on the north dial hard enough to stop
the hands, and also the clock. In order
to insure the clock running it was nec-
essary to disconnect the hands on the
north dial, and for almost a week they
indicated twelve o'clock, and many peo-
ple were fooled on the time. Wednesday
afternoon the hands were again connect-
ed up and since then there has been no
trouble.
>oe
——Early last week William Stone-
braker, who lives on a farm between
Bald Eagle and VanScoyoc, purchased 2a
fine blooded cow for which he paid a
good price. On Saturday the animal
died. On Monday one of his largest fat-
tened hogs died. On Tuesday, while
butchering, they put a kettle of fat on
the kitchen stove for rendering then went
to the basement to attend to other work.
The fat boiled over caught fire and
started alconflagration that burned the
house to the ground. The only articles
saved were several chairs and pictures.

——Victor E. Lambert’s romance “The
Girl and the Stampede” will be the at-
" traction at Garman’s, Monday evening,
January 12th. It abounds in the quaint
and interesting types that Mr. Lambert
has been so successful with in his pro-
ductions to the public through his plays
and books. The company carries the
complete scenic equipment which was
used in its New York and Chicago en-
gagements. As always, it has been up
to Mr. Lambert to introduce something
new into his plays and in this case he
has been wonderfully successful. Prices,
25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.
-—One of the first official acts per-
formed by burgess Edmund Blanchard
after he was sworn into office on Mon-
day was to go after all persons whose
pavements had not been cleaned of snow
and slush and insist that they be cleaned
that day, before the slush had a chance
to freeze. A good many persons were
able to get their pavements clean but
quite a number scraped the top off and
the result is many slippery places in
town. There is no reason why anybody
should be driven to clean their pave-
ments. They ought to do it as a matter
of pride and for the safety of pedestrians.

FE BES SA
PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES SUSPENDED.—
In July, 1913, the State Legislature pass-
ed an Act providing for the payment of
bounties on noxious animals from the
money received from hunters’ licenses;
the county commissioners to pay the
bounties on presentation of scalp or cer-
tificates, the counties to be re-imbursed
by the State semi-annually. In accord-
ance with the provisions of the Act the
Centre county commissioners paid out
on bounties up to January first in the
neighborhood of two thousand dollars.
But when they sent a statement of the
amount to the Auditor General they
were informed that no re-imbursement
could be made at this time as the money
is all tied up in the State Treasury.
While the Act of the Legislature provid-
ed the way re-imbursement should be
made it failed to provide a specific appro"
priation authorizing the State Treasurer
to pay out the money, consequently he
declines to do so. The result is that the
county commissioners have suspended
payment of bounties until proper provis-
jon has been made to reimburse them
for the money already paid out, when
they will resume in accordance with the
ard. mg.
provisions of the Act of the Legislature.
